Paul asks…
Is it really possible to land an aircraft on MS flight simulator 2004?
I am only using the keyboard and mouse, but when I come in to land I take it off AP and then it has a mind of its own. Also why is it when I follow the flight path, it does not guide me to the approach to the runway, but sometime over the middle of it. Any tips please, new to this. Thanks.

How do you land on Flight Simulator 2004?

PCFlightSimulator answers:
Well it’s a little hard to explain. Yes you should invest in a yoke or even a joystick.
There are red light’s at the beginning of the runway. They change from red over red to red over while to while over white. You want those light’s to say red over white, this way your not too high or low.
I would suggest you download another panel, so you can use auto land, and watch the best pilot in the world land a plane. The auto pilot.
It taker’s along time to master a good landing, and flying with a keyboard isn’t making it any better. IF you have any questions my yahoo screen name is dvail88.
Good luck
Helen asks…
Do we need controllers for Microsoft flight simulator? ?
Do we need controllers for Microsoft flight simulator X deluxe editon. Can I not play with keyboard and mouse. Please help me. Please tell me how much it would cost for whole package with controllers.
Next, what if I buy Microsoft flight simulator X standard edition. Do I need keyboard. If yes, is that better. Does it give real effect. Please, please help me. Thank you.

You can use the keyboard (works better), and a joystick. Keyboard controlls are here:
